It is exceedingly important to install fire escapes in high-rise buildings for the safety of all during emergencies. Fire escape installations in New York City are not simply adding external stairs to a building. Fire escape systems require design, safety checks, and materials for proper construction so that people would escape safely in case of fire. The distance between the fire escape and the building eventually will come one more handicap in the shelters of a taller building. Allowing for these goes to get another huge task altogether. In making this possible, there are strict sets of rules and regulations that engineers and builders must comply with. Therefore, in these cases, the limited space of the buildings also becomes a hitch against introducing escape ladders or stairs. Hence, it is vital to implement a strong planning design right from the word go.
